Abstract:
The IPv6 neighbor discovery cache is vulnerable to a Denial of
Service attack that purposely exhausts the state used during the
neighbor discovery address resolution process described in RFC 4861.
This attack can be very disruptive when the target is a router. This
memo proposes a stateless form of neighbor discovery to be used by
routers to mitigate this attack. It does not require any changes to
hosts.
